I don't think the amount used in tea would be enough to make any difference, that is IF even a large quantity would make a difference. Honey contains chrysin, which supposedly inhibits aromatase. However, most of the studies done on it have shown it to be ineffective. It is still sold as an aromatase inhibitor though, which is why I try to avoid ingesting it or applying it anywhere on my body.
I think it's kind of like the caffeine thing in NBE, where it probably doesn't hurt, but there is a small chance that it does...
Interesting. Well, it certainly doesn't seem to be hurting my development any. And I consume quite a lot of honey. I mean. I buy honey in 5 lb quantities just so I don't run out of it in a month. I use it for almost everything where I use a sweetener...
